HC Deb 28 February 1957 vol 565 cc198-9W
67. Mr. Edelman

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what measures of safety he has recommended to builders and engineers engaged in factory construction following the fire at the Nash-Kelvinator Works at Crewe in September, 1956, where bituminous roof coverings undercovered with fibre insulating board caught fire in circumstances similar to those at the Jaguar factory recently.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I am informed that no advice was issued by Government Departments to builders and engineers as a direct result of the fire at the NashKelvinator Works. A great deal of guidance, both about fibreboard and about roof coverings, has been made available by various Departments in their publications, by fire brigades, and by voluntary bodies such as the Fire Protection Association.
